Description

Alcohols, C12-13, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance nonionic surfactant synthesized from a blend of C12-13 fatty alcohols via controlled ethoxylation and propoxylation. This dual-block copolymer structure provides superior wetting, emulsification, and detergency properties with excellent compatibility in complex formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial and institutional cleaning products, textile processing, and agrochemical formulations, valued for its stability and performance across a wide pH range.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its robust soil removal and low-foaming characteristics.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as an emulsifier, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance efficacy and spray performance.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and solubilizer in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes (subject to specific grade compliance).
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C12-13, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous internal specifications to ensure consistent performance, including parameters for hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH, and moisture content. We provide full traceability and comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment. Our production facilities and processes are designed to meet global regulatory standards, including REACH compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C recommended). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, blanketing with nitrogen is advised to prevent oxidation. Under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
